Games that are usually rated MA15 anyway usually have some stuff cut from them. At least this way Australia gets a nice new rating system that the UK has had for ages, which prevents it from getting into some silly lawsuits, and you guys get Uncut games too. It sounds like a Win/Win.

I've felt that they've needed this ever since I heard about their rating system. Only rating up to 15+? That's stupid - there are plenty of games that should only be available to those who are adults. The refusal to rate the games because they didn't have a harsher classification held things back, and I feel this will give a chance for those games to finally be released.



I'm just hoping that those retarded nay-sayers won't be able to block the sale of games that could now be rated R based on their ridiculous claims of warping minds. I've been playing violent games for years, as have almost everyone I hang out with. We're completely sane, socially adjusted people, and none of us has ever shot someone, done drugs, killed ourselves, or whatever the hell else these people think games are going to make us do.



It's crap, and it irritates me when good games get shot down for bullsh*t reasons.



Oh, and to Ricardodude - they have the ratings for a reason. If you're not old enough to buy the game, don't try and subvert the rules. Prove to your parents you're mature enough for them to buy it for you, or just wait until you're old enough to buy it yourself. It's when people too young get ahold of these games that soccer moms with nothing to do (and crazy Florida lawyers) start ranting about how the systems don't work and video games themselves need to be banned because of it.
